First Grow and having some issues

See, with synthetics, you have chelated (salt-bound) nutrients that need to be in a proper pH range for the plant to take up. With organics, you don’t feed the plant, you feed the soil. The soil should contain microbes, mycorrhizae, and optionally, trichoderma. And the bacteria eats and decays the organic matter, shitting out what the plant can take up, regardless of pH.

pH only matters in organics if there are inhospitably wide fluctuations that would cause root issues anyway. Think 7 for your basic limit and below 5.5-5.8 for your acidic limit. Maybe even down to 5.0, but I’d try to avoid going that low.

for some reason every single type of water I try (spring, tap, filtered tap, purified) has a ph of over 7. That’s y originally I was lowering the water’s ph.

Hello once again I got another quick question, u know any nutes or nute sets I can get for $30?

I mean, maybe they have some out there. GH makes a GO Box (General Organics.) That said, I stand by the quality of Roots Organics for 20 bucks more. Comes with dry nutes, liquid nute teas, and an inoculant.
